Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If portable electronic products use single body product design to achieve light and slim appearance, then appearance is improved, but extensibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the electronic product into a main body unit and separate function modules that can be independently connected via communication interfaces. This allows the main body to remain compact while functions are distributed across multiple detachable modules, resolving the contradiction between compact appearance and functional extensibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universal communication interfaces (USB and UART standards) that enable the main body to work with multiple different function modules. This multi-functionality approach allows a single compact device to perform various functions by connecting different modules, maintaining light weight while achieving versatility.
2Device complexity
If micro devices have simple hardware specifications, then device complexity is reduced, but data transmission convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces communication interface modules as intermediaries between simple micro devices and the external environment. These modules handle complex communication protocols (USB, UART) while the core micro device maintains simple hardware, enabling convenient data transmission without increasing the complexity of the micro device itself.
Solution Approach 2:
Complex communication and data transmission functions are extracted from the micro device and placed in separate communication interface modules. This allows the micro device to remain simple while gaining access to sophisticated data transmission capabilities through the external interface modules.

AI summary
An assemblable wireless Internet connected apparatus and an integrated function system are provided. The integrated function system includes a function-extended apparatus and the assemblable wireless Internet connected apparatus. The function-extended apparatus includes a first communication interface complied with USB and UART standards. The assemblable wireless Internet connected apparatus includes a wide area network wireless communication module, a second communication interface and a computation-and-controlling unit. The wide area network wireless communication module connects the Internet. The second communication interface is used for engaging with the first communication interface and is complied with the aforementioned two standards. The computation-and-controlling unit communicates with the function-extended apparatus through the second communication interface, and transmits data from the function-extended apparatus to Internet through the wide area network wireless communication module. Accordingly, a separable product with heterogeneous network integration and a novel development way are provided.
